  1. Numerical modeling and sensitivity analysis of landslide tsunami: Lituya Bay and La Palma Josh Taron

  2. The Setting: Lituya Bay Miller, 1960

  3. The Stage: Gilbert Inlet Modified from Fritz et al., 2001

  4. The Numerical Recipe: Level-Set • Indicator Functions and Smooth Heaviside • Demarcating Physical Properties • Dimensionless Navier-Stokes • Advection-Diffusion of Indicators

  5. Numerical Recipe: Landslide • FEMLAB’s Full Stress Tensor • Iverson et al (1985)

  6. No slip boundaries with bulk density 1610 kg/m3 Slip boundary - same conditions

  7. Validation Newmark, 1965 Dynamic FOS Maximum Velocity • Maximum Landslide Velocity • Wave Height Noda, 1970 Slingerland et al., 1979 a = -1.25 b=0.71 Slide path length = 358m, slide height, h, = 90m
